SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -By convention, comets are named after their discoverer or discoverers, but several of the most famous periodic comets, such as Halley’s Comet, discovered by Edmond Halley, and Encke’s Comet, found by Johann Franz Encke, are in fact named after the person who first computed their orbit.

Detailed explanation-2: -Halley’s Comet, the first comet identified as periodic, has the systematic designation 1P/1682 Q1. Separately to the systematic numbered designation, comets are routinely assigned a standard name by the IAU, which is almost always the name or names of their discoverers.
